PiG, don't miss your train! >.<

I will NOT be going by DLS, meaning people who rush home by 7pm now have until 8pm in NSW/VIC

[Philosopher]

Looking forward to watching Tilea v. Probe, Law v. Chase and Wally v. Alopex....Should be some close games there.

I think x5 3-1 eCKo
and SLCN 3-0 Fray

It's not like Chase hasn't been known to take games from good players.

Maybe this'll be one of those games.

difference between it SHOULD be a close game and it MIGHT be a close game. It should be one sided, it might not be if chase has a good game and lawrence does not.

I don't know if I should be saying this as I'm not ecko but pig has been late/held up the series 3 weeks in a row now. He was given a warning in the first week he played, last week we had to play my game before law vs pig too and no warning was given. This week again he did not patch his game, whilst I didn't even know about the patch either, surely someone in the x5 chat mentioned it? He wasn't told at all? Either way it's really his or x5's fault that he didn't patch. They also had to move tilea's match back because she didn't patch either... There is really not excuse for it him to still not know about it or have been told.

It's getting annoying. Honestly 3 times in a row is enough for something more than just a point taken off x5's score.

The first two were my bad - I apologise for that.

For yesterday though my client is literally refusing to update (Tilea and Chan had the same problem temporarily - mine STILL refuses to patch). It would take 20 seconds to download if I can get it to start but my launchers just refusing to detect the patch for whatever silly reason.

I eventually realised it wouldn't fix and had to borrow Dot's PC and install my keyboard drivers and all her ingame settings to get it ready, so it took way longer to get on than expected. I would have been more apologetic when I finally got on client but I was more focused on figuring out the new interface and finding the correct chat channel. Sometimes technical problem happen and I really appreciate Ecko and admins being patient and understanding.

[syfChadMann]

I agree with Wally.. players need to be prepared, why aren't they online half an hour before the tournament to patch and warm up? I'm sorry x5, but you've been late with players three weeks in a row.... I'll leave this one up to Swarmstika (sorry Nama, you should remain impartial as you're in x5).

[uJeanZ]

If they had chosen to disqualify Pig at the time, then we would have copped it on the chin. In this instance, I would say that to punish us for something that would not have happened had blizzard not decided to patch would be unfair. The fact is that there were issues with the game patching. Our players were there on time. Obviously everyone has other schedules and can't be on top of everything all of the time. That's all I propose to say on the matter.

This isnt the first time he's held up games.

Elusory was in no position to enact any kind of authority and I wasn't made aware Namakaye wouldn't be around.

[syfChadMann]

I'd agree on not applying a retrospective punishment, however a precedent has been set with x5 receiving a warning point (I'd suggest two more are applied). However, lets work on avoiding issues in the future. I'd propose that players should be online or logging in half an hour before match time. Especially non-QLD players, as we have an extra hour now anyway. Special consideration to QLD players should be made tho....

if everyone is ready half an hour before the match, any issues can be discussed before the match has started. I would strongly suggest that next week, if x5 players are late I will not be waiting, I'm more than happy to play matches out of sequence or sub players if something comes up, but there should be zero down time.

This league has two goals, showcase the talent in SEA teams and entertain the community of SEA. If the stream is idle for more than 10 mins then we are failing at both.

[x5_dot]

Just make a blanket rule regarding how late someone can be from now on. Done.
